SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The operator must be trained for working with the
machine on which the numerical control is installed.
Improper use of the numerical control can cause
heavy damage on equipment and/or injuries to
people.
Modification of machine parameters can cause
important material damage or lead to irregular
product quality.
The rear panel may only be removed by a qualified
technician (danger of electrocution).
Do not expose the numerical control to excessive
humidity so as to avoid any risk of electrocution and
any deterioration of the equipment .
Make sure the numerical control is disconnected
from the mains power before carrying out any
cleaning. Do not use liquids based on alcohol or
ammoniac.
In case of malfunction of the numerical contro l, call a
technician.
Do not expose the numerical control to direct sun
rays or any other heat source.
Do not place the numerical control in the
neighbourhood of magnetic equipment such as
transformers, motors or devices which generat e
interference (welding machines, etc.)
Replace fan filters at regular intervals so as to avoid
overheating.

SAFETY, COPYRIGHT & LICENSE AGREEMENT
Please consult the safety instructions, copyright and license agreement on the
first pages of the manual.
DNC WITH WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
The CYBELEC DNCs equipped with Windows have been installed in the
factory with a configuration especially realised for the numerical control
(see technical information).
This configuration ensures that a minimum of files are present on the DNC,
offering in this way a maximum speed to execute the programs. This
configuration also ensures that the drivers are correct and that the whole
guarantees an optimal functioning of the numerical control.
As Windows is a very open system, it is advised to not modify the Windows
installation nor to install other programs. You risk to disturb the functioning
of the the numerical control.
If you wish to install a network or a printer, please call a specialist.
Remember that the DNC is equipped with a floppy reader and USB ports and
that it is very easy or even tempting to install external softwares, utilities or
games coming from specialized magazines.
CYBELEC accepts no responsibility in case of misfunctioning of
the numerical control if other programs have been installed or if
the original configuration has been modified.
We also remind you that the Windows environment is infested with virus and
utmost caution is to be taken when using data or softwares coming from
outside. A regular back-up enables you to get your data in safety.
We certify that our numerical controls are delivered virus free.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This User Guide treats some simple examples, in order to rapidly acquire the
programming concept.
The Reference manual furnishes supplementary information to this
document.
Remark: In this manual, it is assumed that the DNC has an operational
configuration (i.e. machine parameters and tools are
programmed).
This manual describes the software version U3 or higher.
Some represented figures can possibly not correspond with
previous versions.
Some functionalities treated in this manual are not available on
DNC 880S.
This manual can evolve, it is you, the operators, who can contribute to help
you more. If you have any remarks concerning this manual, please write to us

QUICK CURSOR (ON MODEVA ONLY)
Functions:
1) Enables to rapidly move and position the cursor, in the various fields of
the displayed page.
Procedure:
Turn the button clockwise or counter-clockwise. The cursor moves from
field to field, from the top of the page downwards and from left to right or
vice-versa.
2) To change page.
Procedure:
Press and hold down the button. Turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Clockwise, corresponds to the "next page" function and counter-clockwise
to "previous page".
3) To open a multiple-choice field window and select the choice.
Example: choice of material
INTRODUCTION PAGE 7
Procedure:
Position the cursor on a multiple-choice field.
Press and release the button. The multiple-choice window opens. Position the
cursor on your choice with the help of the button and press again to select.
4) To move electric axes in manual mode.
Procedure:
Put the DNC in manual mode. Position the cursor on the field of the axis to
be moved. Press the button, hold and turn. Clockwise corresponds to a
positive movement and counter-clockwise to the opposite. A slight rotation
moves the axis slowly and a greater rotation moves the axis quickly.
To stop the axis, release the button.
PAGE 8 USER GUIDE MODEVA/DNC 880S
QUICK START
This chapter describes, by means of some simple examples, diverse ways of
using your DNC.
L-alpha Programming.
This method is the fastest and the most currently used in the workshop
when the operator has to create himself a product from a paper
drawing.
Direct Programming.
This type of programming is often used for simple products or by
operators having worked on conventional pressbrakes without
numerical controls.
This page is very close to what an operator has to do, since he has on
one single screen all the information and fields necessary for the
programming of his product.
3D Programming.
This type of programming enables the user to visualize the
construction of its product in 3D. This mode also enables more
elaborated constructions and modifications than in 2D mode.
We assume in this part that all the necessary tools have already been
programmed as well as the machine parameters.
Access levels We presume that the operator knows how to reach level 1. Should this not be
the case, see chapter Protection of the Access Levels further in this manual.
The screens of this manual have been captured with the PC 1200 Windows
software. The screens however are identical in the ModEva and DNC 880S,
except for the Windows aspect.
Reminder:
You will find the correspondence between the keys of the DNC and those of
a PC keyboard in the 2D Reference Manual under External keyboard.
These procedures indicate to the operator a programming method
recommended by CYBELEC, enabling to assimilate by the example the
functioning of the software.
For additional information, please consult the 2D Reference Manual and/or
the 3D Reference Manual, which each contains a table of contents and a
detailed index facil ita tin g the search for information.
QUICK START PAGE 9
LEAVING THE SOFTWARE
It is possible at any time to quit the task after having memorized the current
state. However it is important to leave the software i n the correct way by
calling up the MENU page
The same procedure can be used on the PC software, or press the
keys on any page.

L-ALPHA (2D) PROGRAMMING
This chapter describes, by means of a concrete example, how to create a
product by using the "L-alpha" method (length-angle).
This method is fast and easy and allows to display the product in 2D, which
usually is sufficient when products are being programmed in the workshop.
The product being used as an example is composed of 2 sections (profiles),
but the procedure is identical for one or several sections.

The side flaps with the oblong holes, which are included in section 1, will be
